Leaving the Left

 

The ever changing nature of the Left, and its propensity for heresy hunting, makes conservatives out of the unlikeliest material.  Here is a speech by Democrat Ronald Reagan in 1948 for Harry Truman:

The Left hunts for heretics, conservatives, at least in this country, welcome converts.  Maher may never be a conservative, but he is ceasing to be of the Left, and we welcome all refugees from the Borg.

“That’s not me changing, that’s things changing. I’m reacting to it…”
— Bill Maher

“In political science, a reactionary or a reactionist is a person who holds political views that favor a return to the status quo ante, the previous political state of society, which that person believes possessed positive characteristics absent from contemporary society.”

I’m adding Bill to my portfolio of diverse podcasts I listen to, all honest-reasoned-seekers that I don’t always agree with. As I’ve said before, that’s how I get information, no cable news propaganda.

Bill talks here honestly in the long version about the epidemic of obesity in this country. I’ve struggled with losing some weight myself, but found an answer that works. Homebrewing beer is polar opposite to losing weight, but this has worked.

Up by 6AM, black coffee only, on the treadmill for 30 minutes, 3 miles an hour on an incline that gives a heart rate above 100 (normally I’m 60 bpm.) NO TREADMILL NO COFFEE. I love coffee.
Break.. fast… wait for it.. 10AM. No more coffee, only water for the rest of the day.
Lunch 1PM. Light lunch, salad with proteins is best. In between snacks only nuts, apple or orange.
Dinner between 5-6 PM. Workout for 30 minutes with weights directly after, while drinking 1 beer to celebrate the end of the day and the beginning of a new fast. NO WORKOUT NO BEER.

That gives me an eight hour eating window for intermittent fasting. Cardio on the front end for fat burn. Weights on the backend for stress reduction. It turns two vices, coffee and beer, into rewards. Plus the only time I watch TV is during workouts.
No processed foods. Mornings are easy as coffee is an appetite suppressant, nights can be tough but I can drink seltzer water and it tricks my mind into thinking I’m having a beer. Simple and it works. I think especially for men.
Systems are more important than goals. Weigh yourself daily, no improvement without measurement. If you don’t like beer, reward yourself at the end of the day with something else.
